@physicistdanny.bsky.social are faculty unions able to push back against state imposed constraints (eg the make-up of a faculty senate)? #askingforafriend

This is such an insightful and incisive conversation about advocating for trans rights in a way that moves the ball forward. I was very impressed with what Rep. McBride had to say.
Today’s episode of The Ezra Klein Show.
Representative Sarah McBride reckons with the trans rights movement’s shortcomings, and how to win hearts and minds through a politics of grace.

Have you questioned your entire career today? 😭
Decimating STEM education in the US makes no fucking sense.

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

Our community flourished because of 3 NSF grants we earned 10 years ago.
We were awarded another one to grow the community and move us to sustainability without federal support.
Each day that passes brings worry that we won't be able to do so.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
